Why wouldn't you be able to upgrade yearly? N-1 is always supported until the next release so at worst you do a double upgrade once a year. Only 2 reboots are needed.

Anyway for personal systems I don't see the issue with upgrading every 6 months. The process isn't much different than regular updates. If you are wary of issues you can always delay the dist-upgrade of a few weeks so that any quirk not detected during beta is solved after feedback from the early adopters.

I have 2 personal laptops, one on silverblue, one on regular release with data synced. One shared laptop that is mostly used by my daughters, also on silverblue, and my professional laptop on regular fedora. I usually upgrade my 2 personal laptops on release week. The shared one however is only updated some weeks later because this is the lowest maintenance one and my professional laptop is usually upgraded the last, it usually stays in N-1 until the next release enter beta.
